Earlier I wrote about a bicycle made out of cardboard. And now I am bringing to you another exciting story.
I do a lot of surfing on the Net to find some positive, feel good stories. I am
tired of all the negativity in the world, that's why I am doing this kind of
discussions.
Just came across a wonderful video where a cardiologist used 3-D printing
to help him replace a faulty heart valve.
I just wished I had this done 2 years ago instead of having to go through
Open Heart Surgery. It would have been a lot easier on my body.
Last summer, after a long career as a successful entrepreneur and a brief retirement, Richard Whitaker was helping to start another new company. Unfortunatel...

Marie, I actually saw this some time ago, and put it on the back burner (as you do) to do a post on, so well done you for doing it... even if it is with some regret, that you weren't aware of it or it wasn't then available to help you,it must be of interest to some also in your situation... good post!

I think it is a good idea to have a little positivity in this very negative world.

How much time do you spend on the Internet every day? I've set a limit for myself because there is too much out in the world for me to see and do. I find more and more people are spending more and more time in front of a screen instead of interacting with neighbors, friends, family, etc., and at 80 years of age it bothers me.

@GreatMartin, I come and work at my computer between my other tasks during the day. I don't really keep track of the time I spend on the internet every day.

oh that's cool! I wondered when this would start getting used for medical stuff, like inside the body stuff, not just limbs and the like

Wow, 3D printing itself is already an interesting technology but using it for this purpose is even more amazing. I guess with technology the possibilities are endless.

With all the ugliness and stupidity in this world there is only one way to fight back and that's be positive and create wonderful things. Teach people, give people attention, don't be greedy and don't tell other people what to do. (political leaders and lawyers are very good at that. never trust them...;-) So, yes Marie it's a good initiative to show a different world. different headlines.
